Thanks for the rant. I've never had a tab break off but I'm sure it's just a matter of time. The interesting thing is that when I bought my DS I picked up a couple of cheap SD cards (Kingmax is the brand) which don't have the tabs. I never actually knew that other SD cards had the tabs until a few people complained about them on this list. Those cards are still working fine but I've never seen that brand on sale again.
